Apparently Trump petition reaches over 200k to stop him entering the UK. http://news.sky.com/story/1602440/over-300000-sign-ban-trump-from-uk-petition What a joke! These Fabian, hate merchants that's despise free speech want to ban anyone that has a right wing view. I would sign a petition to kick out these fools from the UK before I would sign a petition to ban Mr Trump. The socialist Fabian are no longer valid UK citizens & should be extradited from the UK as hate mongers that despise free speech, which is a long standing tradition of all freedom loving UK people.
Nothing to do with free speech! No one ever said that free speech didn't have consequences. . .and obviously looking like a fool and a hater, warmonger and dangerous individual is the consequences of Trump's tendency to shout his big mouth out. . .without thinking! Actually, the petition is now up to 267,000 people, I believe! It won't happen. . .but it sure gives everyone an idea on how successful Trump would be as a President. . .especially in International politics!
Yeah like that will ever happen, A little insignificant country telling a Hyper power president he is not welcome.
<Rule 3> Trump will never be President The UK is certainly not a "little insignificant" country and IT IS a sovereign country with a LOT of cloud in world politics. . .they are also one of the few real ally to the US! <Rule 3>
The government has signalled it will not refuse the US presidential candidate Donald Trump entry to Britain following his controversial comments about Muslims, despite a petition calling for a ban gathering more than 360,000 signatures in just over 24 hours. At the height of its popularity on Wednesday afternoon, the petition, which calls for Trump to be stopped from entering Britain on the grounds of hate speech, was racking up more than 30,000 signatures an hour, according to parliament’s petitions website. http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/dec/09/petition-calling-for-donald-trump-to-be-banned-from-uk-signed-by-85000 Donald Trump could be the next US president and the UK government cannot afford to lose its important ally over his anti-Muslim remarks. It seems to me that he's just enjoying being in the limelight by self-funding his presidential campaign and he does not have a political platform.
As I said earlier on a related thread, most of them probably don't have the faintest idea what he said. It's called CPS (Compulsive Phone-in Syndrome). Sufferers feel the need to participate in all tv reality shows - and having made the phone call to register their vote they're imbued with a sense of self-importance. The only known cure is if their IQ spontaneously increases into double figures, otherwise there's no hope for them.
Calling for an entire religion to be stopped from entering a country is free speech. Calling for one person to be banned from a country is an attack on free speech, got it!
Banning any one person making free speech is a foolish move advocated by socialist fabian hate mongers. Banning a religion is a safe policy when faced with their hate religion. Islam is not compatible with Western thinking & should be sponged from Western society.
The issue is free speech, you either support it for none, support it for all or are a hypocrite. Personally I agree with neither side but I do support both sides right to say what they choose.
Free speech is fine, but allowing Islamic believers into a Christian country is something different. Liking a Friday night Curry & cheap taxi drivers is no reason to think allowing Islam into Europe is a good idea
I was not commenting on any of that, merely how you did not support free speech for the "socialist Fabian hate mongers"!
Equal opportunity to ban Fabian hate mongers from entering Britain.... Infact lets get rid of those political hate speech mongers. Line them up against the wall & execute all Fabian hate mongers, if we can't export them to some socialist dream state.
Yes, I oppose the petition in as much as I do not want it to succeed however they do have a right to make the petition. And Trump should be allowed into the country, I would love to see him interviewed by a couple of British journalists. We either have confidence our ideas are better or we do not, banning is the cowards way out. - - - Updated - - - What like Scotland?
25% of people in the UK support Donald trump opinion about stopping further Islamic immigration into the UK 25% disagree with Donald Trump's statement about Islamic immigration. Labour & the Conservatives got 30 & 37% of the vote in 2015. So as an opinion is has a strong following... I would like to come face to face with someone that actually wanted more Islamic immigration into the UK, so far (not living in a middle-class Guardian reading area) I have never met anyone that actively supports further immigration.
And FWIW, the petition to NOT ban Trump is on 35K sigs, and it hasn't been pushed relentlessly by the BBC in the way the "ban Trump" one has been.
The irony of people wanting someone banned from a country because that person wanted people banned from a country. By the way, if Britain - a country which hasn't banned some members of evil Islamist organisations - bans Trump, it will almost certainly persuade Americans to elect him as president. I have a feeling that most Americans don't really care what Britain's PC Left really think about them and Britain banning Trump will almost certainly win him the US Presidential election.
"Loud-mouth trouble maker" - The Left's description for anyone who dares to utter views that are the opposite of theirs, no matter how popular those views are. I have a feeling that Mr Trump's remarks are supported by a hell of a lot more people in Britain than the PC Brigade would have us believe. Britain is also a country which routinely allows foreign Islamist preachers of hate to come here and make speeches. Why do those those Trump-hating, e-petition signers calling for his banning never sign e-petitions calling for Islamist preachers of hate to be banned from Britain? They're never there signing e-petitions whenever Iqbal Patel from Iran wants to come over calling for gays to be chucked off British buildings and for British soldiers to be beheaded. Also, how did we ever survive in the days before e-petitions were invented?
I an not on the left.. I just don't like carney barkers.. and yes Islamic hate preachers should be banned as well. Israel banned the Kahane if you recall.
Political correctness has emerged as a force to replace free speech. More and more people believe they have the right not to be offended by anyone's speech than to allow free speech to reign. It surprises me how many are willing to give up the right to free speech in favor of political correctness. It like for quite a log time we have been moving away from freedom of religion to freedom from religion. Speech is now following in that line. We continue to give up freedoms and liberty voluntarily just to avoid being offended or to hear something we disagree with. Slowing we are becoming a totalitarian state, even if we still can vote our dictator into office.
